ORBI RBR20 does not work WPS feature with Nighthawk X6 EX7700 extender.

I was very impressed by WPS feature with two wonderful gears (EX7700, RBR20) before updating recent firmware.

After updating recent firmware of them, WPS feature is now no longer working.

WPS feature does not work anymore even with manual connect.

Unfortunely, I forgot last firmware before updating of them.

Is there any solution or issue about this? Please help this issue...

I don't want to buy another wifi router by this problem....

What Firmware is currently loaded on both devices?

What happens if you manually configure the EX to connect to the RBRs wifi SSID and PW?

RBR20 is now... ver 2.3.5.26

EX7700 is now...ver 1.0.0.188

 

After type SSID and PW, does not pops up the next page even in mobile app.

I am still trying to find out the last firmware worked properly...

Which unit was recently updated? 

 

So logging into the EX with a wired PC and web browser fails to connect the EX to the SSID name and PW using it's setup wizard?

Yep, I tried mobile app and wired PC both.

Both units factory reset and setup from scratch? 

Might most about this over in the Extender forum as well. Possible FW broke something.

Re: ORBI RBR20 does not work WPS feature with Nighthawk X6 EX7700 extender.

Also tried reset and setup, too...

 

I have asked Netgear A/S team now about this issue.

They are currently working on this now...

I hope they will get the solution for this problem.

 

yeah... I think recent FW has some glitchs...

If I got the best answer about this, I will post updates on here.

 

Thanks for your helps.

Mine haves the lateest firmware EX7700 v1.0.0202 and RBR20 V2.3.5.26. The EX7700 cannot extend the ORBI wifi. Any suggestion?

Please as the moderator about a FW update for the EX7700. Should make it compatible.
